ROMANTIC: Tyrone and Sean dined out for Valentine's Day

The duo had no qualms in pretending to be boyfriends – and the scene proved to be seriously comical, with the waiter comparing Sean to Tom Hiddleston.

"So on the busiest day of the year, when every restaurant is guaranteed to be full, Tyrone finds one giving away half-price food," wrote one fan on Twitter.

Another continued: "I think the writer of this episode has never been out to a restaurant on Valentine's Day."
